As part of
New Adventures 25th
anniversary celebrations, Britain’s favourite choreographer (Swan Lake, Edward Scissorhands, The
Car Man, Nutcracker!)
presents a triple bill of acclaimed early works that launched his career.
Spitfire ‘An advertisement divertissement’ was Bourne’s first hit in 1988, it
hilariously places the most famous 19th century ballet showstopper in the world
of men’s underwear advertising.
Town and Country from
1991 gave Bourne and
his company their first Olivier nomination. Remembered as the piece that
crystallized the Bourne
style; gloriously witty and ironic, but also strangely moving and heartfelt. It
explores notions of national character from a bygone era through the evocative
music of Edward Elgar and Noel Coward amongst others.
